This ryokan impressed me with its charm and genuine staff. We booked a bit late so had to get two smaller rooms for our family of 4, but everyone slept so solidly. The mats/mattresses and comforters are so comfortable. My husband wanted to stay at a ryokan because “we can stay at a Hyatt anywhere in the world, let’s do something different”. We ate the traditional breakfasts there wearing our yukatas, we all utilized the onsens, the staff was incredibly helpful with calling taxis, calling ahead to a golf range, in general arranging just about anything. There is simply an endearing charm in a small business serving travelers from around the world. It feels intimate and I was never more sad to leave. Do try the matcha tea ceremony in the mornings; it was educational and my family enjoyed it thoroughly. There are some great restaurants right on the street, and it is extremely close to the main shopping streets. We walked to Pontcho Alley for dinner one night and explored the surrounding areas. Kyoto is magical and my husband, myself and my 2 sons highly recommend this ryokan. I would definitely return.

The room was beautiful and clean. The staff were lovely! I loved the Japanese style breakfast we had! It was really nice that they also had activities, I was able to participate in a green tea ceremony. It was close to shopping and food nearby. I love to stay here again.
